A-Z Challenge 2016: X for Extraordinary


Extraordinary quote

I can’t believe after scouring the entire internet, I couldn’t find a good quote to represent the letter X. There are simply no word that begins with the letter X I can use. Oh well, I’ll just have to settle for “Ex” which has the same pronunciation as the letter X. So… Continue reading “A-Z Challenge 2016: X for Extraordinary”

A-Z Challenge 2016: W for Writing


Writing Quote 4

Of course, the letter “w” is for writing. Throughout the challenge, I’ve tried to steer clear of the obvious ones like “i” for inspiration or “s” for stories or even “q” for quotes. Continue reading “A-Z Challenge 2016: W for Writing”

A-Z Challenge 2016: N for Nature


Nature quote 2

Welcome to another Saturday. Can you believe it? We’re at the letter N already and one of my finals is in 5 days. Since I’ve been doing a quote and a song for the past two Saturdays, I’ll do the same today except I’ll feature one more quote before we move to the music.

Reading this quote just makes me want to dream. It makes me feel obsessed about going on an adventure, to go on a hike, to embrace nature. *sigh* Just wish the weather would cooperate.

Nature quote 1

Meanwhile, this quote makes me feel serene. I am someone who enjoys the earth’s music very much. It’s very relaxing and calming for the mind. Just listen.

A-Z Challenge 2016: M for Moment


It-is-in-your-moments

Well, I’m not sure if my destiny was shaped but last week, I made the decision to continue school for one more semester after graduation, just one. I know I said for the past two months how I couldn’t wait to get a job and move out but by doing this, it’ll increase my odds of getting a higher paying job.

That’s why I have decided to go for a graduate certificate in information system and technology. It’s somewhat of a mini-Master degree in Information system. I don’t need to take the GMAT to get in and it cost less than a Master degree. So I guess in a way, it’s a win-win. Besides, I think it’s time for me to go for something I actually enjoy doing.

In the meantime, because I’ve somewhat turned my back on my mom, she’s now planning on my cousin’s future. She wants him to learn to fix airplanes or even pilot one. On the phone call to her sister, she says she doesn’t care whether he wants or not but her tones implied otherwise.

Me? I don’t think that’s what my cousin wants to do even though being a pilot does sound cool. I think it’s his decision to decide what he wants to do and no one else should make that decision for him. They’ll just make him miserable.

Share Your World – 2016 Week #14


If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?

If I can hire someone to help me, it would definitely be cleaning and yard work. I enjoy cooking, so having someone to cook for me would just make me feel miserable that they would have all the fun. Cleaning and yard work, that’ll be great. I hate getting on my hands and knees to clean the floors, pull the dirt out of the vacuum filter, and don’t get me started with pulling the weeds. Ugh.

What makes you laugh the most?

It’s easy to make me laugh, simply tickle me, that should do it. What makes me laugh the most though is when I watch physical comedy. I’m sure those would make anyone laugh.

What was your favorite food when you were a child?WU-0103_mac-and-cheese_s4x3

One of my favorite food when I was a child is Macaroni n’ Cheese and not the kind from the box. It’s the kind made from large soft elbow macaroni pasta with runny cheese. The only place I could get it was at school and that only became my favorite food after coming to the U.S. In China, I was consumed by the desire to get fast food that all other foods just became bland to me. Unfortunately though, I didn’t get a lot of fast food in China as you can read here.

List at least five favorite flowers or plants.DSC00520

  1. Tulips
  2. Irises
  3. White rose
  4. Yellow rose
  5. Daisy

A-Z Challenge 2016: H for Home


Home Quote

This quote is very true in a way and I can’t help but reminisce on this old song when I see the quote.

The lyrics says [credit: lyricmode]:

Some people live in a house on the hill
And wish they were some place else
There’s nobody there
When the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell

Some I have known have a ship where they sleep
With sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can’t find what they want the most

Even now when I’m alone
I’ve always known with you
I am home

Some live in towns
Cardboard shack on concrete
All bluster and bustling life
They search for the color they can never quite see
Cause it’s all white on white

Even now when I’m alone
I’ve always known with you
I am home

For me it’s a glance and the smile on your face the touch of your hands,
And an honest embrace
For where I lay it’s you I keep,
This changing world I fall asleep
With you all I know is I’m coming home,
Coming home

What is your definition of a home? Please share.

A-Z Challenge 2016: G for Greed


Greed Quote

My mom often complains to me why others can relax while she has to spend all her time working. “What did I do to the world?” She’d ask. “To deserve such a hard life?”  Continue reading “A-Z Challenge 2016: G for Greed”
